BuzzFeed Ghosthunters Shane and Ryan Visit Tombstone!

In its fifth week of the season, Buzzfeed Unsolved: Supernatural's Shane and Ryan checked out the haunted town of Tombstone, Arizona — the town famous for the legendary gunfight at the O.K. Corral. The episode was a combination of their traditional sit-down style episode and the episodes where they explore.

The first spot they explored was the location of the gun fight. The pair attempted to make contact with the spirits of those who died in the gunfight. The O.K. Corral and Tombstone Epitaph have both been tauted as some of the most supernaturally active locations in Tombstone. Although unsuccessful, it was exciting to see how ecstatic they were just to be in the historical town.

Next up, Shane and Ryan explored Big Nose Kates Saloon where Morgan Earp was gunned down. Once again, they attempted to make contact, which was overall unsuccessful. The best part of the episode was watching them explore the town. Although it is such an old town, it still looks just like it originally did in the 1880s.

According to the Athens Post "The episode was very good overall." and "The location of this episode was the most interesting one so far."

Here's the video!

Macey Hensley and “The Ellen Show” Come to Tombstone!

If you watch daytime television, you may know Macey Hensley — the soon-to-be second-grader as the presidential whiz kid — from Ellen DeGeneres's talk show. If you're from the mid-west, you may have even seen her in a Kansas state tourism ad. If not, hop on your computer and you can easily become one of the millions of people who've seen her videos. (One clip from "The Ellen Show" has more than 10 million views!).

She may only be 8 years old, but she has traveled all around the country amazing her fellow Americans with an encyclopedic knowledge of presidents, vice presidents, and first ladies. She has appeared in ads for Carnival Cruise ships, visited Civil War re-enactments, hurled the first pitch at Major League Baseball games, and in the process spent more time with celebrities and national political figures than most of us ever will! She knows all kinds of facts and speaks about former presidents both past and recent like they're her neighbors. She even painted with George W. Bush, and Barack Obama gave her a ceramic presidential seal!

Enough of that, take a look at the video!

As you can see, the presidential expert Macey Hensley recently made a West Coast RV road trip, and her final stop on the way was a tour through Arizona! As a history buff, we couldn't let her get away without a stop in Tombstone to step back in history at the O.K. Corral! After she was deputized by the marshall, she helped the Earps and Doc Holliday disarm the cowboys in a reenactment of the famous gunfight!

After heading to Tombstone, home of the famous O.K. Corral gunfight, Macey headed up to Glendale, Arizona to head backstage with "Sugarland" before their concert, and rounded off the tour at one of the 7 Wonders of the World, the Grand Canyon National Park.

Thanks for stopping by Macey!
